The concrete trend taking over Pinterest

More than floors - by Laura Barry
  • 27 Jul 2018

Edgy, industrial and endlessly versatile, concrete is a cost-effective trend taking over interiors. From polished concrete floors to tiles, sinks and everything in-between, concrete is a tactile and contemporary material that works within any home. As an added bonus – it’s also incredibly robust. Searches for concrete home items are on the rise according to Pinterest, and these are the top trends that are taking over.

Concrete flooring

Concrete flooring is hard-wearing, chic and adapts to many interior styles, and can be a sustainable material to use in housing. Concrete flooring is easy to care for, requiring no more than a mop with soapy water.

Concrete sinks

Concrete countertops and sinks are not only durable and easy to care for, but they’re a unique design feature that will elevate any bathroom, kitchen or laundry.

Concrete décor

Adding the concrete trend to your home can be done on a smaller scale by decorating with accessories made from concrete, or using it in smaller-scale projects such as feature walls.

Cement tiles

Cement tiles are a sure-fire way to set your home up with industrial or minimal style. This textured tile works best on the floor, or on walls if you’re looking for a dramatic feature. Cement tiles are hard-wearing, easy to care for and are available in a wide range of pattern and styles.
